Courtney was great! My dog has separation anxiety & is usually freaking out when I get home after being gone all day. But this time, she was calm and happy. She clearly loved Courtney!

Taylor was such an amazing sitter! She gave me detailed updates every time she checked in on the pups. Will definitely hire her again if she is available :)

Keera was great with Archer and went at his pace! I got a ton of updates and Keera was super responsive and gave great updates! Keera was flexible when I was coming home sooner than expected.

Sheana came through when I was in a pinch. I needed someone to let the dogs out because I was stuck in traffic in the mountains. She responded last minute and had excellent communication. She’s the best!

It was our first time leaving Skittles with a sitter, and Daniel did a great job of assuaging our fears! He was super communicative and made sure we knew that Skittles was in good hands. Highly recommend!

boarding

Kelli was awesome boarding my two dogs. Not only did she give daily updates with videos and pictures she also worked with them on introducing them to her cat and getting used to her big dogs. Can't recommend enough!

Jasper city center

Jasper city center

The city of Jasper, 15.5 miles north of Sumiton, is just busy enough to add some excitement to your day without the hassle of Birmingham. Jasper is a park lover’s paradise with nine community parks to choose from. The creekside walking trail and new fitness-themed cardio trail at Gamble Avenue Park are particularly peaceful. The city’s largest park is in the historic North Highlands neighborhood: Memorial Park offers a one-mile walking track that circles the duck pond, plus acres of sports fields and playgrounds to explore. If your pups work up an appetite, they’ll enjoy the meaty menu as much as you will at Full Moon Bar-B-Que, a dog-friendly eatery just a few miles east of Memorial Park on Hwy 69.

Rickwood Caverns

Rickwood Caverns

Rickwood Caverns State Park in Warrior, Alabama is just over 15 miles from Sumiton. The massive caverns themselves are open for human-only tours, but above ground the dog-friendly camping and hiking at this 380-acre park will delight the entire fur family. If your Blue likes looking for clues to the area’s rich history, he’ll spot some along the mile-long Fossil Mountain Hiking Trail, where prehistoric fossils are visible in rocks you’ll pass as you follow this flat, easy loop that begins and ends near clean human restrooms. Small compared to many state parks, the pet-friendly campground at Rickwood Caverns is a cozy spot to stay for the weekend and make new furry friends.

Central City

Central City

With Downtown Birmingham a mere 27 miles from Sumiton, your pups will surely want a taste of the big city now and again. It would be easy to spend a day just walking the wide sidewalks of Central City. Pups appreciate lovely flourishes like the Rotary Trail greenway along 1st Avenue and the pocket-sized Unity Park adjacent to University of Alabama-Birmingham campus. For bigger adventure, enjoy the 19 acres of Railroad Park where the Central City and Five Points South neighborhoods meet. With a 0.75-mile outer loop trail around the park’s perimeter and paths that wind among the many water features and creeks, there’s plenty of room to run.

Pinson

Pinson

Turkey Creek Nature Reserve in Pinson is just 28 miles from Sumiton, and worth it for the hiking trails and swimming spots that your pups will thoroughly enjoy. Do be careful to keep a firm grip on the leash if you have inexperienced dog-paddlers: Turkey Creek has level-1 whitewater rapids, and even the peaceful swimming holes can have strong currents. For exercise without wet fur, try one of the four easy walking trails that range from the 0.35-mile Boy Scout Trail to the 1.4-mile Thompson Trace Trail. If your pups have long legs, you might even try the moderately difficult 3.2-mile Narrows Ridge Trail.

Clear Creek Recreation Area

Clear Creek Recreation Area

The Clear Creek Recreation Area is located 29 miles north of Sumiton and is your gateway to Bankhead National Forest. Clear Creek has dog-friendly camping, some excellent splashing opportunities in Lewis Smith Lake, and the scenic 2.5-mile Raven Interpretive Trail. A bit north of Clear Creek on the main highway through Bankhead National Forest, look for the turnoff for the Natural Bridge Picnic Area. If you follow the paved walking trail just 0.38 miles into the hardwood forest, you’ll find a naturally-occurring stone archway — an awesome sight for you and perhaps a unique backdrop for Fido’s next photoshoot. No running water is available at Natural Bridge, so bring plenty for you and your fur family.
